A PAN AMERICAN
World Airways spokesman
in Miami said today that
PanAm were "not simply
planning a suspension of
service to Nassau. We
intend to cease operations
there altogether."
This was said by Mr. Sergio
Betancourt at the PanAmerican
district offices of the airline in
Miami
Yesterday, PanAm's local
director. Max Gurney,
announced that the airline was
to "suspend" its Miami-Nassau
service, together with its New
York-Freeport service from
April 22 to December 15 this
year as part of a general
economy move of the airline.
At the same time it was
announced that PanAm would
continue its daily, year-round
New York-Nassau-Rock Sound,
Eleuthera 707 service.
And today Mr. Gurney
re-emphasised that although no
date had been specified about
the reinstitution of the
Miami-Nassau run, it was
wrong to say the cutback was
final. 'We could reinstitute it if
the economic facts warranted
it.' he said.

Freeport

to get

new ship

FREEPORT is to have a
cruise ship replacement in
June, following the
withdrawal of the m.v.
Freeport If last September.
The Ministry of Tourism
announced this week that the
800-passenger s.s. Freeport,
now being built in Italy, will
begin regular cruises between
Miami, Florida and Nassau on
June 14.
The new Freeport will be
operated by Bahama Cruise
Lines, which previously
operated the m.v. Freeport II.
Bahama Cruise Lines is
now a wholly owned
subsidiary of U.S. Freight
Company, which formerly
held a 75 per cent interest in
the company. The other 25
per cent was held by the
Grand Bahama Port
Authority.
Nassau agents for the vessel
are E. H. Mundy (Nassau)
Ltd.
A three-day two-night
cruise will depart Miami on
Friday and Wednesday at
4:45 p.m. and will arrive in
Nassau Saturday and
Thursday at 8 a.m.
The cruise will then depart
for Freeport 2 p.m. Saturday
and Thursday.
A four-day and three-night
cruise will leave Miami at
4:45 p.m. Sunday, arriving
in Nassau 8 a.m. Monday. It
will depart Nassau 2 p.m.
Tuesday and arrive in
Freeport 10 p.m. the same
day.
She will then depart
Freeport 3 a.m. Wednesday
and arrive in Miami 2 p.m.
the same day.
The Freeport will offer
passengers a choice of over
400 cabins, all with private
facilities.
In addition there will be
two restaurants. The ship will
also offer a full range of
sports facilities, including
deck tennis, skeet shooting,
game and recreation room
and a swimming pool.

Mr. Gurney said the
suspensions were a matter of
"sheer economics" brought
about by sky-rocketing fuel
costs and bad financial
setbacks.
The airline lost $13.5
million last year and its fuel
bill has climbed from $171.4
million to $338.4 million this
year, despite layoffs and
reduction of flights world-
wide.
However, the Miami Herald
headlined a story Thursday
saying PanAm was "to end" its
"46 years of Miami-Nassau
flights."
And it quoted Mr.
Betancourt, the head of the
public relations department of
the airline in Miami as saying
PanAm intended to "cease
operations" to Nassau
altogether.
When asked about this
today, Mr. Gurney stood by his
statement yesterday and
advised The Tribune that he
would get back to us after
conferring with his district
office in Miami
Meanwhile The Tribune
called PanAm's Miami office
and a senior official of the
airline said that "to anticipate

a reinstatement of the service to
Nassau would entirely depend
on economics. This is merely
conjecture at this time."
Although he did not think it
likely the route would be
reopened, he did not rule out
the possibility entirely.
Prior to yesterday's
announcement which alsi
declared suspension of its New
York-Antigua, and its
Chicago-Jamaica service
PanAm had informed the
Bahamas government of its
intention.
PanAm cutback its flights to
the Bahamas by 50 percent on
January 8 this year and laid off
30 percent of its staff in
Nassau. Last year it withdrew
its Miami-Freeport service.
The US international carrier
pioneered the Bahamas route
46 years ago: only its Key
West-Havana service started
earlier. But the Nassau service,
begun with a Sikorsky S38
flying boat on January 2,
1928, is PanAm's oldest
continuous service and breaks a
long tradition if it stops service
next month.
PanAm at present flies a
daily tri-jet service to Nassau,
with additional flights on

Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
It flies the Miami-Nassau route
in competition with Eastern
Airlines and the national flag
carrier, Bahamasair.
PanAm state that the route
has been a consistent
money-loser.
However, Eastern's vice
president Frank Borman, the
former US astronaut, said
today that Eastern stood
ready to "fill the gap" left by
the pending PanAmerican
cutback in the Caribbean.
Borman, commenting on
Eastern's passenger per-
formance last season, described
it as "excellent."
Eastern at present flies six
flights a day from Miami to
Nassau and one from Fort
Lauderdale. As from May 1
Eastern will increase its daily
flights by one.
Bahamasair chairman
William Allen told The Tribune
today that Bahamasair "very
definitely will move to try and
pick up any traffic" on the
Miami-Nassau route and his
board would be making a
statement in due course.

Girlfriend slaying:

man loses appeal

MICHAEL BETHELL, a St.
James Road steel-worker
sentenced to hang for the
murder of his 19-year-old
girlfriend last year, had his
appeal against sentence
dismissed Wednesday by the
Bahamas Circuit Court of
Appeal.
Bethell was convicted after a
Supreme Court jury found him
guilty of killing Diane
Knowles, a mother of three,
whose dead body was
discovered on a track road off
Strachan's Alley during the
evening of March 25, 1973.
The panel of judges Sir
Paget J. Bourke, Sir Michael
Hogan and Sir Clifford Innis
also handed down their
decisions on the appeals of
Errol Hayden and Frederick
Antonio.
Hayden, a Jamaican mason,
was last year convicted of
attempted armed robbery and
the murder of Haitian service
station attendant, Mr. Emile
Pierre, on January 31 and
sentenced to hang. But the
court, on Wednesday declared
his hearing a mistrial.
Antonio, a 19-year-old
Freeport youth convicted of
two counts of armed robbery
was last year imprisoned for
three years and ordered to be
administered six strokes of the
rod upon his admission and
discharge from jail.
The judges altered his
sentence in one respect, upping
the time of the second flogging
instead of having it
administered when due to leave
jail.
Bethell, 31 I, was represented
by attorney Randol F. Fawkes
in his appeal. The attorney
charged that the judge had

erred in his direction on
,provocation.
But, in the judgment of the,
appeal court, delivered by Sir
Michael, the judges stated that
they were "not satisfied that
the iudge was wrong in his
approach and in any event,
even if his direction could be
open to criticism, we think
that on the testimony before
him the judge would have been
fully justified in directing the
jury that there was no evidence
on which they could find that
Bethell had been deprived of
his power of self control." The
judges dismissed the appeal
accordingly.
In an earlier sitting, last
week, the Appeal Court judges
also dismissed the appeals of
Wendell "Red" Burrows, 25.
and Philip "Polka" Humes, 20,
against their conviction and
sentence for the 1972 Perpall
Tract murder of F. N. M.
supporter Raymond Barry
Major
lHayden's appeal resulted in
an order for a new trial with

the court setting aside his
convictions and sentences for
murder and attempted
robbery.
Represented by attorney
Nicholas Zervos, the court
added leave for a new ground
of appeal to be included by
Hayden against his conviction
and sentence.
This was to the effect "that
the learned trial judge had
misdirected the jury as to the
intentions which are necessary
elements in the offences of
murder and attempted
robbery."
Antonio, a Freeport youth
convicted for the April 5
armed robbery of Alwilda
Isbister, manageress of the
Kings Inn Hotel golf shop and
the May 2 robbery of Henry J.
Greisemer was sentenced to
three years in jail and ordered
corporal punishment.
His sentence, the court said,
was extremely lenient upon
considering that he had several
previous convictions.

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti Cabinet
shuffles here there were three in 1973 are
always headlined in the official government
newspaper Nouveau Monde as "reforms", and
Wednesday's announcement was no different.
It was simply a "presidential reform in his
cabinet."

For a journalist to uncover any significant
meaning behind such changes is a task made
more difficult by the complete lack any
official or unofficial comment, either literary
or verbal.
Newspapers here, which always praise the
president and government, print the

communiques ver batum, together with
repeated legal terminology and reference to
articles of the constitution under which the
changes are permissible.
There is no variance from one paper to
another, except sometimes in the tabolid
English-language News of Haiti, which
occasionally ventures into interpretive analysis
of the heavily-worded "presidential
communiques."
With the lack of any meaningful comment
from authoritative sources, the observer here
generally interprets the headlined "reform"
to mean somebody, i.e. President Duvalier,

Tourist amenities probe

FREE NATIONAL
Movement representative
Norman Solomon (St.
George's) served notice in the
House Wednesday that he will
seek a committee to determine
whether or not the number and
quality of the country's
tourist-oriented amenities are
adequate.
If they are inadequate, he
wants his committee to have
power to make recommendat-
ions as to ways and means of
correcting these inadequacies

as well as other suggestions
which will enhance the
Bahamas as a desirable travel
destination.
In a second motion, Mr.
Solomon proposes to have a
House committee look into the
cause for the excessive staff
unrest "which has so recently
disrupted the efficient
functioning of Radio
Bahamas."
The purpose of the
committee would be to make
recommendations designed to

fairly accommodate the wishes
of the staff the requirements of
management and the rights of
the Bahamian people
At the same time Mr.
Solomon wants the committee
to determine if the managerial
policies of the station are
sufficiently objective to ensure
that the Bahamian people are
not being subjected to overly
partisan government
propaganda at the price of
honesty and objectivity.

THE TWO-YEAR delay in
producing the 1971 audit of
public accounts was due to the
fact that the Auditor Kenneth
Albury was denied the funds
needed to have it printed, Mr.
Norman Solomon (FNM-St.
George's) charged in the House
Wednesday.
Further, Mr. Solomon
declared, the Audit department
was so grossly understaffed
that at present there was no
one competent enough to take
over from the Auditor in an
emergency.
In view of the 600 per cent
increase in revenue over the
past ten years the member said
he thought it "patently
ridiculous" that government
expected the Auditor and his
staff to do the kind of job
required of them.
Mr. Solomon's attempt was
defeated however to have a
committee appointed to
consider the overdue
presentation of the report and
to make recommendations for
improving the overall
efficiency of the department.
According to the member,
the 1971 audit was ready in
June 1973. The Cabinet office
was reportedly approached by
the Auditor for funds needed
to get the report printed.
"My understanding is that
no funds were available or
none were made available,
though it was only a small
amount of money," Mr.
Solomon said. The Auditor
was, however, promised funds
for the third quarter of 1973,
that is, by September.
The date came and went and
the funds did not materialize.
"1 understand that he was told
by the Cabinet office that he
could send it to the ('. R.
Walker College," and this,
reportedly was done.
The report was held up at
the College for a long time and
was finally returned between
Christmas and New Year's.
Decalred Mr. Solomon: "We
feel the House is in a sense
being defrauded by this kind of
action. We shouldn't have to
wait that long for that kind of
document. It should be treated
with the respect it deserves."
The member for St. George's
pointed out that the estimated
revc lue in 1963 was in excess
of $20 million. In 1974 the
figure had gone to $122
million.
This represented a 600 per
cent increase in revenue, but
staff had only increased from
23 to 45 people. In 1963 the
travel allowance awarded the
Auditor General's department
was $7,000. In the intervening
ten years this had only gone up
to $12,000.
Mr. Solomon, after noting
the acute shortage of staff in
the department. reminded
members that the Auditor

THE BAHAMAS Council for
the Handicapped, founded a
year ago, plans to lobby for the
provision of more com-
prehensive services and
programmes for the
handicapped.
The Council is presently
holding a "Public Awareness
Week" from Sunday through
March 31, to promote
rehabilitation of the handi--

Bahamas.
A Council spokesman said
that various committees are
now doing research into
existing legislation pertaining
to the handicapped, and

obviously wasn't satisfied with those members
of the Cabinet who were dropped, eigher for
sickness, as in the case of interior and Defence
Minister Breton Nazaire. or for other reasons,
such as may apply to former Foreign Affairs
Minister Adrien Raymond, brother to onetime
army-chief-of staff Claude Raymond, who was
dismissed mid-73.

During Thursday's investiture of the three
new ministers the third, Paul Blanche was
promoted from Information to
Interior-defence the Nouveau Monde
referred to its habitual phrase describing
speeches as "brillante alloculion." But no

retired in six years, "but there
doesn't seem to be any proper
provision for a successor."
In October 1973 the audit
department lost a junior clerk
and although the auditor had
asked for a replacement this
was still not forthcoming.
Mr. Solomon said it was his
understanding that some years
ago the auditor was summoned
to the Treasury and consulted
about the budget for running
his department. He was told to
cut back some $50-$60.000 as
other departments had done.
He had cut back his payroll
and every year since then there
had been a government
directive issued that no more
people could be hired.
"The volume of work
increases but the staff and
funds remain static," Mr.
Solomon observed.
He claimed that the clerks in
the department had well below
the minimal qualifications.
Though well-intentioned, the
majority possesses only two or
three B.J.Cs. in such as sewing
and Religious Knowledge.
Another factor mitigating
against the department was
that there was no overtime pay
allowed for those working
there, as was the case with
Customs and Immigration.
Therefore prospective staff
were not attracted to the
department.
"If the House would refer to
the auditor's report to the
House in 1968, they would see
that he sounded a warning
them about a difficulty of
telling them ab%,at a difficulty
of recruiting clerks with the
necessary qualifications."
In 1971 the auditor repeated
the same complaint and said
that it would have an adverse
effect on the department's
efficiency.
"The idea is not to put the
blame on anybody but to try
to give the country an Auditor
and an Audit Department that
can do the job Mr. Solomon
declared.
There were some of the
most shocking revelations in
the 1971 report he continued
Although there was supposed to
be an independent stock taker
for government supplies, the
auditor had pointed out that
this was not being done.
As a result government had
no inventory record of
anything. All over the country
there were machines worth
hundreds and hundreds of
dollars of the people's money
and no one knew where they
were or who was responsible
because no records were kept.
The government side refused
to agree to appointment of the
committee on grounds that this
would interfere with the
constitutional prerogatives
granted the Auditor under the
Constitution.

with tradition.
So what does Wednesday's shuffle really
mean?
Commented one usually available source,
without a hint of a smile: "It means President
Duvalier wanted to change some ministers".
Said another, a Government official: "It
doesn't mean anything other than in Haiti we

than in the U.S.
"All appointments and dismissals come

And that is what this, the first C

whether or not Mr. Healey had

If so, Mr. Tynes wants to ser
a copy of the contract. At the
same time he has asked Mr.
Maynard to state whether Mr.
Healey's employment was
terminated at his own
instigation or by the company.
In either case he wants the
Minister to give the reasons for
termination of Mr. Healey's
contract.
The only information made
available by government to
date was a brief statement by
Bahamasair chairman William
Allen on March 11 that Mr.
Healey "has left the com-
pany."
Mr. Healey, who was
reportedly on a five-year
contract, departed after only
nine months on the job.
Reliable reports are that
inadequate financing to
properly operate the airline
was one of the causes of
disagreement between the
general manager and the
Bahamasair board.

No intelligent people ... especially at this time ofh

extravagances indulged in by the government.

FOOTNOTE TO HISTORY: In the same issue of The Tribune
Free National Movement Leader Kendal Isaacs is reported as
having said in the House of Assembly that he was concerned for
the security of the Bahamas.
There is reason for concern for the Bahamas in more directions
than one these days.

There seemed to have been some alarm about a report of a
Cuban gunboat being in the area while eight boats from Cuba
were fishing off the coast of Long Island and boldly entertaining
visitors from the island aboard their vessels.
It was revealed earlier that the government had sent a plane out
to reconnoitre the area.
And so it now seems that the government may have wanted to
make sure the coast was all clear before they sent their puny navy
to Long Island to protect Bahamian waters!
if this situation were not so serious one could almost laugh at
the pitiful blindness of the men who now hold the destiny of the
Bahamian people in their hands.

Under the propaganda of empty promises spread among the
people by the governmnet, the Bahamian people decided that
they wanted independence.
In this column I warned them repeatedly about the insecurity
of the islands when the Royal Navy was no longer responsible for
our defence.
Any ,' fool must have known that the government of the
Bahaa:as would be incapable of providing adequate protection for
thousands of islands and cays extending from the coast of Florida
along the entire stretch of Cuba, almost to the coast of Haiti.
It would seem to me that, before venturing into independence,
the government would have worked out some former of defence
treaty with Britain and the U.S. The Opposition should have
pressed for such a treaty.
Now the government is admitting that the islands' defences are
inadequate. And they know too thai they can do nothing about
it.
The Opposition leader now tells the government that he and
:is party are concerned for the security of the Bahamas.
There is reason for this concern.. but it comes rather late,
doesn't it'?

The articles now appearing in this column were written in
Coral Gables about a month ago. Since then we have been back to
Grand Cayman where I wrote eighteen more articles so that I now
have 28 in advance.
One of them deals with the fact that the government is nowv
forcing a bus service on the airport, despite the protests of the
taxi drivers.
This article will not appear for several weeks but I feel I must
tell you right away what happened when I arrived here
Wednesday afternoon for a three-day stay.
I went to the Men's Roomi at the airport, where I was standing
alongside a man who was a stranger to me.
"You're here," he said in a surprised tone of voice when he
looked up and recognized me. "When did yiou come'.'
"I've just arrived," I said.
"Hlow long for this time?'" he asked.
"Three days," I said. And he shook his head sadly.
"We got buses at the airport now,"hlie commenlcted.
"Yes, I know," I said, "I've written something about it that
will be published soon."
"You remember the 1958 general strike, stalled by the ta\i
union because the hotels wanted to put buses on tlie airpoil"', lie
said.
"Yes," I said. "I remember."
"You remember," he continued gravely, "Clifford Dailing was
then president of the Taxi Union, now lie is the Labour Minister-
Lynden Pindling was the Legal Advisoi for the Labour Union,
now he is Prime Minister."
"Yes I remember," I said. "But who else does?'"
"Always glad to see you in Nassau, sir," he said as we parted at
the door and went our separate ways.

In this column on Wednesday I quoted fitoi memory l'iul lines
of a poem I read over 60 years ago and asked .iy of miny readers
to give lme the name of the alithoi and. if possible, to tell ilLe
where I might find the full poem.
The paper was hardly off the press when Mr. Scighbert Russell
drove tou mIy daughter Mrs. Calrion's house with the following
information

SAMUEL ROGERS.(1763-1855):
The Pleasures of Mermory ( 1702)
Sweet Memory! wafted by thy gentle gale,
Oft up the stream of Time I turn my sail.
"In the early years of the nineteenth century this affluent
banker's son was hailed as a great poet by many who sneered iat
Wordsworth and Coleridge. By 1850 his popularity had dwindled.
Whlen, in that year, he was offered the laureateship out of
respect for his grey hairs, he gallantly declined in favoui of
Tennyson. Today readers of his didactic poem 'The Pleasures of
Memory(1792) usually find it pleasant but pedestrian. Many are
more grateful for his Recollections (1859) of better writers with
whom he wined and dined."

DEAR ABBY: What do you think of a woman who
talked on the phone from 3 p. m. until 9 p. m. without
stopping? That's Molly.
When I got up this morning at 7:30, Molly was talking
on the phone again. She didn't have time to speak to me or
even get my breakfast. When I left for work at 8:30, she
was still on the phone.
When I came home for supper the beds weren't made.
She was on the phone again, and I had to beg her to get off
and fix supper. She didn't say one word to me until after
supper and then only five words: "Do you have any
money?"
We've been married for 18 years and have two kids

kids wouldn't have turned out so well. Maybe she is going
through a change. Have her call up her doctor and make an
appointment. [On second thought, tell her to write him a
letter.]

DEAR ABBY: You always stress that a husband and
wife are "on the same team." I agree. But how do you feel
about their right to privacy when it comes to mail? Please
print your views. I would appreciate seeing this in your
column. MALE READER
DEAR READER: The laws of this country governing
the privacy of the mails exist for a good reason, and every
citizen is obliged to obey those laws, even-and especially-
when the legal recipient is a member of one's own family.
Reading a spouse's mail Is in the same class with reading

a child's diary or listening in on the extension telephone.
It's verboten.

DEAR ABBY: Tell that girl who paid Motorhead's bills
to write him a letter asking him for the $1,000 he owes her.
If Motorhead is dumb enough to write her back and tell her
that he didn't owe her any $1,000-it was only $500--she'll
have all the evidence she needs. She can then take the letter
to a lawyer, and he will take it from there. CLYDE P.

I C pass I S pass
2 C pass 3 D pass
4 D pass 4 S all pass
Not a very elegant auction:
South's need to provoke his
partner on the second round
resulted in a manufactured
force which produced an
unlooked-for raise of
Diamonds, so South, not
knowing what else to do,
retreated to 4 Spades.
West led the 7 of Hearts.
Declarer played low, and East
won with the 10. He cashed his
Ace next. and followed with a
third Heart, ruffed by West.
Although South lost no more
tricks in a side-suit, he had to
lose a trump trick, and the
contract went one down.
"Should be a good one for
us", observed East with deep
satisfaction, as he noted down
the score.
"Yes", agreed his partner,
rubbing a little higfi'class salt in
the wound, "they can make
3NT easy enough."
"With 31 points and six
good spades, you're going to
play in 3NT?" said South,
stung to react to this criticism.
"What else?" responded East

the Islands in the Commonwealth of the
Bahamas aforesaid.

AND IN THE MATTER of the Petition of Edgar
Roderick Bain of the City of Nassau in the
Island of New Providence aforesaid, Merchant

AND IN THE MATTER of the Quieting Titles
Act
NOTICE OF PETITION
NOTICE is hereby given that Edgar Roderick Bain
of the City of Nassau on the Island of New
Providence, Merchant (hereinafter called "the
Petitioner") is applying to the Supreme Court to
have his title to the land hereinafter described
investigated under Section 3 of the said Act, and
the nature and extent thereof determined and
declared in a Certificate of Title to be granted by
the said Court in accordance with the provisions of
the said Act.

The said land is situate and described as follows:-
ALL THAT tract of land containing Six and
Twenty hundredths (6.20) acres situate on the
Southern side of West Bay Street in the vicinity
of Gambier in the Northwestern District of the
Island of New Providence aforesaid bounded on
the North by West Bay Street and running
thereon One hundred and Ninety-nine and
Seventy-five hundredths (199.75) feet on the
East by land now or formerly the property
of Elsie May Kay and running thereon One
thousand Four hundred and Thirty-two and
Seventy-seven hundredths (1.432.77) feet on the
South by a reservation for a road Nineteen and
Eight hundredths (19.8) feet wide and running
thereon Two hundred and Nine and Twenty-five
hundredths (209.25) feet and on the West by
land now or formerly the property of Nassau
Land and Finance Company and running
thereon One thousand Four hundred and
Twenty-four and Two hundredths (1,424.02)
feet which said tract of land has such position
shape boundaries marks and dimensions which
are more particularly shown on a plan filed in
this matter and thereon shown coloured Pink.
The Petitioner claims to own and hold the said
land by virtue of a Conveyance dated the llth
February, 1949 made between Joseph Hepbumrn
and the Petitioner and recorded in Book Y17 at
pages 132 to 134 AND a Conveyance dated 22nd
September. 1953 made between Bertram Stuart
and the Petitioner and recorded in Book K20 at
pages 533 to 536.
COPIES of the said Plans may be inspected duringg
normal office hours at the following places:-

(a) The Registry of the Supreme Court, Public
Square in the City of Nassau. and
(b) The Chambers of Alexander P. Maillis.
Harrison Building, Marlborough Street in the
City of Nassau.

Any person who objects to the granting of the said
Certificate of Title requested by the Petitioner is
required, before the 4th day of April. A.D. 1974.
to file in the Supreme Court and serve on the
Petitioner or his attorney, the undersigned, a
statement of his claim in the prescribed form
verified by an affidavit to be filed therewith.
Failure of any such person to file and serve a
statement of his or her claim on or before the 4th
day of April. 1974, will operate as a bar to such
claim.
DATED this 21st day of February, A.D. '974.

Notice that with the Ace,
King and Queen of his
partner's suit, South never
once supported it, being
obsessed by the look of his
own Spades and his 17 points.
It was only after he had been
doubled in 6 Spades that he
considered a shift to
Diamonds, but as Blackwood
had shown a missing Ace, he
knew by then that 7 Diamonds
would not be a great success.
He settled for 6NT.
Again, West led the 7 of
Hearts, a busy card in this
encounter. Declarer played the
Jack from dummy, and East
won with the Queen. East,
however, reluctant to settle for
just one down, gave South a
temporary respite by switching
to a Diamond.
South could see that
provided just one of the black
suits were to break favourably,
he could get home. So he first
cashed his Diamond winners in
his own hand, then played his
top two Spades in the hope of
bringing down the Queen. No
luck. Then he crossed to
dummy with a Club to the
Ace, and took his remaining
two Diamond winners before
starting on the Clubs. Again,
no luck. East won the last two
tricks with the Jack of Clubs
and the Ace of Hecarts. 2 down
doubled.
East shot his hand across the
table and grasped his partner's
hand warmly. "Beautiful lead",
he said; "of course I knew
they'd never make it anyway,
but after that lead we had 'em
cold."
"How were they going to
make 6 Spades when I've got
five trumps to the Queen?"
said West with a hint of
indignation. "I just had to
crack that one."
"And 1 had his Clubs
stopped twice, plus the Ace
Queen of Hearts," added East
happily; "we really had them
over a barrel."
This kind of uncouth
gloating has no place in a game,
which when all is said and
done remains a game, not
same form of ego-mongering
display for the purpose of
bolstering the prestige of the
winners or jeering at the losers.
When you think that even the
international arenas are by no
means free from this kind of
behaviour, it makes you realise
why thc majority of players all
over the world still prefer a
friendly rubber in their homes.

Ausltin Saunders. Young Anthon\ Saunders, who on Tuesday

When asked about the
reported agreement to fight
Ali, Foreman said "Muhanmmad
Ali doesn't exist. The title is
the only thing I think about.
Ken Norton knows what he's
doing. lie can hold his own. It
will be a tough fight.'"
A Foreman-Ah fight would
be a financial blockbuster, but
a Norton upset over Foreman
would also make a third

attractive financial package.
